Actually our opinions are all quite uniform Same stuff we've been asking for over a year

the missing exotics from the taken king trailer were are they are they going to be patched in or left out (false advertising is a crime bungie) i'm guessing by the down votes fanboys don't care there being cheated out of content that was advertised you really are a bunch of idiots

So it sounds to me like the devs will just make this game how they want and if they see an idea from the community that they may like also, they might put it in. Rather than listen to what the community actually has to say, the ones playing this game daily, the devs rely on what the devs think is best. Legit

The most pressing issue for me with Destiny in its current state is that the feeling of power is being sucked out of this game with every patch. In year one weapons and subclasses felt powerful and exotics were something to look forward to--something to hunt endlessly for. Eventually getting that one exotic was a moment of great joy that lived in the memories of you and your team. We felt special and the work we put in translated into a feeling of power. That feeling of power has been ripped away from us. In year one there were so many abilities, exotics and weapons that bolstered our confidence as your guardians. Gear felt powerful and we were incentivized to pursue end-game activities in order to acquire the best gear. It made end-game activities something that we looked forward to every week at reset. Currently end-game gear is little more than infusion fuel. Exotics feel impotent and boring. Running raids for gear you almost always immediately trash undermines everything that games like this are built upon. It feels like the prevalent attitude at Bungie is that you know what we want and we don't. It almost seems like you're working against us at every turn. It doesn't help that we hear so little about your design philosophies. We're often blindsided by your decisions and your claims that we're being heard seem like little more than lip service. There is very little interaction with the community apart from weekly updates steeped in vagaries and lacking in any real information. I do my best to empathize--to understand what you're going through as a development team. If you click on my profile you'll see that I've been a loyal Bungie customer for almost ten years. I've been here since Halo: CE. I've been around for the flying warthogs of Halo 2 and the standbyers. I've been here for your great successes and your occasional missteps. I've been here for everything. And I'm still here. You say that you're listening and that our feedback means more than ever. If this is true, you need to start acting like it.

Cozmo, that's bullshit and you know it. The only part the community plays in updates is which guns get nerfed. That's all you guys listen to. You cater to little bitches who cry for nerfs. Ice Breaker didn't need to be nerfed, Gally didn't need to be nerfed, Tripmines didn't need to be nerfed, Sunsinger duration didn't need to be nerfed, and the list goes on. You guys are constantly -blam!-ing up PvE to cater to PvP (I play both, so I'm not biased toward either group, it's just obvious as all hell that PvE is the one getting screwed over). You guys don't let us bring all of our raid gear to 335 Light, which shouldn't even be an argument. I paid $20 for TDB and $20 for HoW and literally none of the gear matters anymore. The raids are pointless to do, and it's bullshit that we pay money for things you just nullify 5 months later. And I'm sure that the $40 I spent on TTK is going to be wasted, since when RoI comes out, the light level will be raised and TTK gear will be left behind as well. You guys seriously have no idea how to keep a game interesting. You survive they microtransactions and forcing players to spend more money if they want to enjoy content they already paid for. So don't -blam!-ing stand there and tell us that we have a voice in Bungie. In the end, you just do what you want and you ruin the game by catering to cry babies who want every -blam!-ing thing nerfed.

Cozmo, you're a good community manager man. I believe it when you say you try etc. This game is hurting. I used to play all the time but I have stopped almost 100% in the last 2-3 months. I don't plan on buying new content. Why? Because you're trying to design two games in one. You balance pve weapons to be used in pvp. This is a problem for me. I like blowing up aliens. It's why I bought the game. I want to complete quests and get a stupidly good unbalanced wrecking ball explosion weapon. I don't give a shit if it kills one guy in the cruicible too quick. Don't care. I want to kill aliens and I've yet to hear one of them complain. Second. The raids have lost all value. Primarily because of the loss of burn primaries and weapon balancing. If I beat the hardest thing, I want to get something that's awesome! Not balanced. Balanced is boooooooring! The word itself is boring. Sit down and say "balanced" a couple of times to yourself and I bet you'll be bored out of your mind! This is a supernatural alien killing VIDEO GAME, not a game of chess. At the moment the only feeling your game stirs is indifference. It used to be excitement. Good luck with your next dlc.

Hello there. First of all, my mother tongue is Spanish so please excuse me if you find some mistakes within this message. Thanks for sharing this with your community. We really appreciate communication. It's perhaps the most valuable thing ever in the gaming industry along with honesty. I will strongly recommend to further improve a few things I personally consider a nr. 1 priority. I am no spokesman but I think most people within the community are concerned about these general issues. Most of them won't be logical until the next Destiny game comes out. [b]1.[/b] You've learned enough from us since the Destiny vanilla launch. Please [u]make a roadmap that doesn't lead to confusion anymore and share it with us[/u]. Plan how many DLCs are we receiving within a year of time and what can we expect to see next. Plan the size and pricing for these DLCs and tell us about it. There's a lot of difference between Destiny vanilla, The Dark Below/ House of Wolves, The Taken King, Eververse and limited time events, and Rise of Iron. Please [u]aim for something simple, easy to understand, logical and easily malleable[/u]. Different balance for PvP and PvE in pretty much everything is weird. Adding microtransactions for limited events we no longer know about is weird. Bug fixes and simple UI improvements are slow processes. Expect things coming up and build the game ready to face these problems from the very beginning. [b]2.[/b] [u]Be more talkative with us[/u]. Before Destiny was launched worldwide we had a small Bungie Mail Sack to ask questions in every Weekly Update. We no longer have that. We are not communicating properly. Your efforts in Twitch are strongly appreciated --thanks for that. But it would definitely be cool to dedicate a full video to explain how matchmaking works. Or how you build worlds. Whatever you want to share is cool. [quote]Now, you may be asking "Why don't you give us regular reports of the status of our requests?" It can be complicated to comment on development work until an update or a hot fix is certified and ready to go. Game design is too turbulent to support public promises.[/quote] There's no need to make a public promise. It'd be cool if you said "we know this issue and we're figuring out how to fix it", but the fact of asking, replying, sharing, asking us to ask you. All of this is cool. Keeping silent on your plans for a year is definitely not cool. If you manage to build a studio that talks and listens to the community, and a living, social game that is thought to be built along with us, I'm absolutely sure you will deserve our heart's deepest gratitude, interest and time. There's a lot of games out there, but Destiny is one very special. You've gathered our dedication. Please give us your commitment.

I've been doing the bungie bounties since day one, (Xbox) and have never seen anyone represented by bungie. I know the chances are slim to begin with but what are the chances of getting matched up when you are on the east coast. Bungie bounties on Xbox = ultra rare Getting matched to them = really low

That's just a lie to pacify the community though, isn't it? 10 months since the Firefly started crashing destiny and its STILL happening. Nearly Two years since the faction ships with holes with them were introduced and they STILL have holes in them. You're telling me a game crashing bug or a consistent visual glitch weren't important enough to even acknowledge for over a year, let alone fix? So are you lying or are the priorities messed up, because half my inventory having the potential to crash my game every time I land a headshot (Which the game has incentivized us to do since before day 1) or looking at a loading screen and thinking "Even chinese MMOs that spring up over night have more consistence" Those aren't things that should persist across multiple expansions. Has there been a single fan that has supported the removal of shader effect on class items? Yet this was never so much as mentioned. At the chagrin of every single player when the Nightfall bonus was removed in its entirety and faction reputation rates driven into the ground, this hasn't been acknowledged.. Hell, I've been missing my Sign of the Elders Emblem for the beta, I never received it, and since day one all attempts at trying to get it have resulted nothing but "Bungie doesn't recover lost items" how is that friendly or helpful? Considering you never gave it to me in the first place. I could go on, but the simple fact is Bungie has consistently tried to paint itself as a company that's community friendly, that's engaged and communicates with the community, but at every step you've ended up actually looking tonedeaf, from not acknowledging major issues all the way down to tasteless comments from your own staff like Luke Smith's infamous "throw money at the screen" line. I think the only company that has you beat in being more detached from reality is Konami. It always comes down to "we're not making promises" But nobody's asking for promises, we're just asking for acknowledgement, just a hint that someone somewhere is actually aware of the myriad of problems that plague this game at every level. So if you and DeeJ are not enough to cover everything than get a third person, or start getting volunteers in the forums to sift though complaints and write reports, I'm sure there are plenty qualified people in the playerbase, and I'm sure most people would be more than happy to contribute for free, if not for a simple emblem or something, so maybe you focus on engaging the community at a deeper level, things like "Bungie is a company that listens to and engages its community" That's something other people should tell about you, not something you should say about yourself. You're doing the equivalent of me making a post and saying "Anedime is so smart and observant." Because all I'm hearing are excuses, not solutions.

[/quote] I really wish you guys, DeeJ and Cozmo, would look towards Jeff Kaplan over on the Overwatch Team at Blizzard. Granted he is an actual game designer and not a community manager, but he has done a superb job communicating with the You guys have done a lot better than year one with communication(especially better than the end of year one....) Jeff has gone ahead and addressed the elephant in the room and talked about the developer/gamer relationship. Game Designers are particularly scared of revealed the projects they are working on for the exact reason you stated in this post. People see something they're working on and take it as, "This is definitely gonna be in the game" and they get mad if it is not. Things change in development and things get cut. That's how it is. Jeff said they would love to openly discuss projects and ideas with their community but it's taboo to do so and that is something they hope to change. They want an intake relationship between developer and gamer but it works both ways. The community has to be understanding of the development process and realize that an idea is not final and stuff happens. And playing destiny for almost 2 yrs now with 2000 plus hours and damn near reading the forums every day, it seems that this is what the destiny community wants. We want you to be open with us, we want to know what your doing. We hate it when you guys go silent for literally 5 to 6 months, it breeds toxicity. We hate that you don't talk about that matchmaking and we hate that things that have been bothering us since day one are still in the game, but god forbid there's a farming cheese, better fix that in two hours. There's a reason that everytime the database is updated, it getting data mined. We're desprete for information. Gonna go on a Jeff Kaplan praise fest but please bear with me. Overwatch has been out for little over a month and the development team is engaged in near DAILY conversations with the community. They respond to tweets, Reddit posts, and forum post. They put their competitive play beta out (called PTR) and with a day or two they started discussing with the community on how a certain aspect of overtime was unfair. A day later, Jeff wrote a detailed post on how they would try and fix it for the official release and what they were planning on doing for future releases. He has also gone on record to discuss the EXACT method of how their matchmaking works and why they went with SBMM and then went on to share his personal thoughts, separate from his company and how he felt as a player. And that's just the tip of the iceberg Seriously Bungie we want you to be more open with us. Communicate with us. Let us know what's going on PLEASE! We don't like sitting in the dark and hearing," Well discuss this more later this summer..." or "... next week!...." Please at least try and if it doesn't work then at least we know that this community isn't ready. I know you guys care about this game and it's community so please try and be more open. Thank you @DeeJ @Cozmo

Can i still get the 7-7 emblem if i still order the item on bungie's amazon profile?

[quote] There are also hundreds of developers who have various opinions on what Destiny should be.[/quote] Herein lies what can be described as one of the most significant problems from day one. You cannot claim that Destiny's development is primarily based off of the community and is indeed community minded/focused when you have people in your organization like Luke Smith and Jon Wisnewski simply making changes to the game off of what they think the game should turn into. What is worse is then they believe that the community should just openly accept those changes and be happy about them because in their "infinite wisdom" that is what they decided was necessary. This principle encompasses weapon nerfs, to content removal/obsolescence and adjustments that everyone here is indeed familiar with. If Bungie developers really and truly want to get in touch with the community (which I really do not believe they do or they wouldn't have done the actions they have), they would have you run polls about development decisions such as nerfs/buffs, content addition, and in game mechanics, not to mention actually implementing the paramount suggestions provided to you already by the community. Blindsiding your player base with controversial game development decisions on a routine basis does not make for friendly relations with your consumers in any shape or form. Prior communication from developers has been dubious and piecemeal at best, and dishonest at worst. The community is often left in a quandary over the direction the game is going as there really is no stability in it, particularly surrounding weapon metrics and content. If relations are to improve, transparency will be an important aspect to that and needs to be addressed. What it comes down to is either you are going to make a game based off of what your community provides suggestions on from their experiences in the game, or you are simply going to make one based off of studio decisions. Bungie needs to decide which avenue they are going to take, state it, and then just do it.
